UNB Reds Thread (Part5)

Blagden is listed in game summary, #24.

Yeah they didn’t add him until he got an assist on Nurses goal , I posted that with 2 mins left

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Pleasantly surprised to see them get four points this weekend given the opponents and injuries.

 

[FreddyFoyle]

You might want to arrive a bit earlier for Friday's game - it is Elementary School night, so there will be a bit of a crush and confusion in the AUC lobby.

 

[dm8895]

McCormick and Sproule back in the lineup, no Baber or McGinley.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I thought Blagden was pretty effective out there, obviously in limited minutes.

Wasn’t able to make the game tonight and haven’t had a chance yet to check the replay…was the no-goal a controversial call?

Hard to tell on the netcam. Mike and Dave thought it was not a goal.

It really doesn't matter either way as there is no video replay, which is too bad.

For the 2nd game in a row, the refs were not the greatest. Several missed calls, some weak calls.

I was in the first row behind the SMU net for the questionable non goal, I’m 98% sure that puck did not cross the line . Also regarding the officiating I think tonight at least it was bad both ways, I don’t think either team really got shafted by the officials.

I didn't mean to imply that one team got bad calls.

After watching the replay, I agree that the puck didn’t cross the line.

I didn’t think you had, didn’t mean to imply that. I was just saying that at least it was evenly officiated

Kind of hard to believe this is their best start to a season since 2009/10.

Rockford has callled up Ross MacDougall.

I've followed this since it happened and have seen the video several times. I honestly can't decide what to make of it.

I saw a similar incident at the Sportsplex in 1985 when a Jr A player got his neck cut by a skate. If not for the quick action of the trainor, he would have died. You could have heard a pin drop in the rink when that happened. Very sobering moment, for sure.

" Mid-October will be tough - SFX, @ACD, @SMU, ACD, SMU "

Yup. Get back to me when they go 5-0 in that stretch.

5-4 OT, 5-0, 3-2, 6-3 & 4-1 = GFA of 4.6 versus 2.0 and shots of 41

A rare laugher on the island…those are usually close, tough, physical games.

There seems to be more blowout games this year than in the past. 8 games so far where one team has scored 8 or more.

Any update on McGinley?

What are everyone’s thoughts on potential mid-season additions? They have (I think) four open spots, but I really, really like the lineup right now. I guess the only concern would be injuries as they don’t have a lot of depth so an extra body or two would be nice, but not sure you are bringing in depth guys at Christmas, it’s usually impact guys so that means some of the current guys might get pushed down the lineup.

My guess is a repeat of last year, McCallum , Sproule, Blagden . A forward , a D-man and a depth guy.

I’m curious what happens when McGinley is healthy because Nolet has been pretty solid and the other 5 guys are basically locks to dress.

Kind of hard to believe this is their best start to a season since 2009/10.

So what was the best regular season finish for the REDS? Anyone know right off hand?

I have heard McGinley will be back after Christmas. Will not rush him with break early in December.

"So what was the best regular season finish for the REDS? Anyone know right off hand?"

I would think the year they were 26-0 and lost game 27 at SFX and beat DAL (I think) for the 27-1 record.

I'm sure someone has the exact answer.

Looks like it was the 27-1 season in 09-10 by an inch!

Didn't see the game but SMU beat UPEI 3-1 with only 14 skaters dressed.

I wasn't there, but the boxscore indicates a close game.
